Chapter five - Should Have Told the Truth

It has been a week on the island and Jordan is fully back on her feet, she concentrated on the cut on her stomach, it still doesn't look too good, but it is healing. She quickly let her top fall over it as she spotted Boone Carlisle walking up to her. He smiled, so she automatically smiled back, but something made her look back, she sighed to see Boone's step-sister, Shannon.

"He's not heading in my direction after all." Jordan convinced herself, sitting back down on the lodge, going back to her magazine.

"Basketball, huh? Do you play?"

Jordan glanced up to see who the voice belonged too, Boon. She turned to see where Shannon was, getting frustrated.

"Wouldn't you rather be with Shannon?" Jordan asked, ignoring his attempt at small talk.

"Wouldn't you rather be with Jack?" Boone answered, raising an eyebrow. Jordan shrugged, going back to the magazine. Just what I thought, he said to himself. Boone looked towards his sister, he didn't really want to put up with her now, she got the point as she walked off.

Jordan acted like she was concentrating on the magazine, though she was not slightly bit interested in Basketball, it was just to cure her boredom. She eyed Boone making himself comfortable next to her, she rolled her eyes.

"You know for some reason, I'm getting this negative vibe between us. Have you realised that?" He asked, breaking the silence. He spotted Charlie with Claire.

"A negative vibe?" Jordan repeated, forcing herself to pay attention to Boone, he nodded. "Where did you get that from?"

"I don't know." Boone shrugged, he eyed Jordan paying attention to Charlie. "We rarely have the time to speak, but when we do, I get the impression you're occupied with something else."

Jordan took her time answering, she peeled her eyes off Charlie when he caught her looking at him. She shifted uncomfortable. "We're stranded in the middle of no where with no hope, no one knows where we are, Boone."

"I know, and I see that." Boone said looking straight ahead, he paused for a moment. "But I figured, it came to me last night. That you're pretty occupied with Charlie."

Jordan shot a glare at Boone. "Charlie?" Boone nodded. "You think I like Charlie?"

"Well it's pretty obvious." Boone said with a shrug, turning to Jordan.

"In case you haven't noticed, we've rarely talked … probably the same amount of time that we have spoken. So, I really don't think it's that." Jordan shook her head in disbelief.

"You would like to spend more time with him though." Boone pointed out, Jordan glared at him. "But his been busy with Claire, hasn't he?"

"You're not going to say I'm jealous, are you?" Jordan blurted, feeling shocked.

"Well, if I liked a girl and she was spending more time with another guy, I think I'd feel that, yeah." Boone admitted.

"I am not feeling that, no way." Jordan angered, avoided eye contact with Boone, he shrugged his shoulders. "Go away. I'm sure Shannon would prefer your company at the moment."

"Fine." Boone got up. "Just so you know, if you want to talk to someone, apart from your brother, and trying to get Charlie's attention, you know where to find me."

"We're on an island, Boone, it won't be hard to find you at all, that's if I ever want to find you." Jordan hit back. She waited for a comeback, but she heard nothing, instead she watched him disappear.

She sighed, throwing the magazine down.

"I should have told him the truth." She grumbled to herself.

Yes, Jordan and Boone have gotten to know each other well … well, a little. I decided to skip a week, because nothing really had happened, just Jordan settling in, she has kept to herself mainly, only meeting Boone. That's about it really. What is the truth Jordan wished she had told Boone?
